Investigate cache issues

[swissspidy]

If vips.worker.js is strongly cached in the browser there can be issues. Investigate how to best clear that cache.

Maybe can append __webpack_hash__ somewhere?

In PR #603, I did this for *.wasm files:

media-experiments/webpack.config.js

Lines 104 to 105 in 7f2c098

	// Use [contenthash:8] to help with cache busting.
	filename: '[name].[contenthash:8].wasm',

A similar approach can be done here:

media-experiments/webpack.config.js

Line 54 in 809cf55

filename: '[name].js',

However, this will append a hash to all JavaScript files, including media-experiments.js, which may not be very useful.

I wanted to pass a function for chunkFileName in the past, but this is blocked by Shopify/quilt#2807

Issue Shopify/quilt#2807 has been resolved via PR Shopify/quilt#2816 and #701, but unfortunately, Quilt is no longer maintained, and all its packages have been deprecated. 🤷‍♂️

That's not the good-news-bad-news combo I was expecting. 😢

Guess I'll need to look for alternatives... 😕

Edit:

At least the underlying rpc package is not deprecated, see https://github.com/Shopify/remote-dom/tree/remote-ui/packages/rpc
